Top of the Mops

Illustrated by David Pattison

This is out of print but included in my collection of plays called Play Time

Julia says ...

This is one of my favourites. I wrote it when my own son, Alastair, was about 14 and had his own rock band. The play was written for “reluctant readers aged 10-14” but I find it goes down well with any group of top primary or lower secondary children. Teenager Andy puts an advert in the paper for a singer in his band. His mother Carol puts an advert in too, for a cleaner. The result is a farce of mistaken identities. There are parts for 4 people.
